MY PLANS

Its 4:00 in the morning and I’m sitting up having a hard time getting to sleep. I have been doodling in a notepad I purchased today writing about my poker goals. My last post did not detail my current situation very well.
My bankroll is now zero. I don’t want to say that I am busto, because I cashed out all but 30 dollars. I guess however, by definition I am. I needed to be able to pay some bills and have food money till I start working again so I decided that I did not need the money online as much as I need to be able to use it. The last $30 that I had in my account I did some flipaments with. It was fun. I just pulled up a table and started shoving every hand, and called every all in.


I wasn’t worried about the $30, and just wanted to be entertained. It worked for about 30 minutes, and I’m sure I made some 10nl players pretty happy. Except one hand where I shoved 83 of clubs into pocket aces and I flopped a flush. That had made me laugh.


The internet bill was paid, I decided that I would be the mature member of my household and pay the bill, although I am moving the modem into my room, and not allowing anyone else access (maybe its not that mature…). I have someone from the internet company coming in tomorrow to hook up the coaxial cables in my room. So I will post this then.

What I ‘m wanting to do is once I sell the van, I am going to deposit at least 2k. I am selling the van for 4k, but will use some of the money to pay off some bills, and maybe upgrade my computer. I will be playing 50nl until I am beating the game for at least 6ptbb/100 over 100k hand sample. Then I will move up to 100nl once I am comfortable with the game. I will also be using a conservative forty buy in rule for each level. The reason is that I feel that I am going to be learning the limits as I go and would like to be able to withstand the variance and learning curve.

I will also want to be playing at least 50k hands a month. So if my math is correct I will be making 3k a month plus about $600+ in rake back. I plan on cutting my job to part time once I have the funds online. I will cash out half of all my winnings at the end of the month, so if everything goes according to plan, I will be at 100nl two months after my initial deposit.

First though, I need to get a lot of my bills paid off before I do this. So I will be working on selling my van, and doing a ton of overtime, to get myself out of debt. I also want to have about 3 months worth of living expenses set aside incase my little adventure fails. So it is about 3k before that happens. My time line is to have this set up for about mid November. So that gives me three months of work, saving, and playing.
